Episode 7: What happened?

What happened on November 7th, 2017 in the Cambridge City Council election? In this episode of Backyard Cambridge we look at who won, who lost, and what exactly went wrong with the vote tallying process. Then we look beyond this election to see the impact the results will have on affordable housing policies in the city.

This is our final episode of Backyard Cambridge for the time being. However, if you like what we're doing here - using podcasting to explain the politics in your backyard - then please consider donating to Backyard Cambridge. If we raise $1,000, we'll continue to produce episodes on a monthly basis. We'll expand our coverage to the happenings at City Hall, the work of the newly-elected City Council, developments in the housing and campaign finance debates, and much more.

And we want to hear from you! Please take our quick, 1-minute listener survey to let us know what you thought of this series, how you found out about it, and who you are. This information will be invaluable to us when we produce new episodes. We want to ensure we're covering the people and issues that Cantabrigians care most about. (And rest assured that we will only use this information to develop better content for the podcast!)

A big thanks to the civic organizations we interviewed multiple times for this podcast, including in this episode. Get in touch with them if you'd like to get more involved with citizen engagement or affordable housing:
